Our Material Difference
The technical department is at the heart of what we do. Our scientists, application engineers and processing technologists lead the way in polymer research and development.
Our goal is to engineer intelligent solutions which precisely match application requirements but also to find solutions that meet gaps in the market. This is an exciting task and one which has sent our products across the globe. Our technical and sales teams work hand-in-hand with the customer, giving in-the-field support and the expertise to engineer solutions that transform ideas into superior products
Six ways our technical teams can support you
Material Customisation
Our teams are constantly developing new polymer combinations. We have a trusted track-record in quality, customised materials. Discover more about our products
Application Know-How
The right material starts by understanding the functional, regulatory & design requirements of the application. We have market specific expertise, be that medical, toys, food contact, cables, automotive …
Mobile Teams
Whether it’s a virtual video call or a site visit, our experts ensure you have access to the know-how you need, when & where you need it. Find your local contact
Processing Support
Our support runs from design to finished product. We advise on tool design, processing output, moulding trouble-shooting, extrusion optimisation & more
Testing & Analysis
All our sites operate material labs or technical centres, with specialist equipment to perform diagnostic, processing and quality assurance testing
Research & Development
Developing materials for today and tomorrow. Close partnerships with suppliers and ongoing research into polymer combinations allows us to bring completely new possibilities to the market.
OUR SUSTAINABILITY ACTIONS
Design for Sustainability
According to EU research over 80% of product-related environmental impacts can be influenced during the design phase.
Here we can consider the embedded carbon in the materials and looking at renewable, biobased or recycled content. How are products produced, how many processes are included, each with their own associated energy consumption. Also the full life-cycle of products and how they can be designed for durability and recyclability.
We're learning a lot and believe our teams are showing the way in rethinking how products are designed for sustainability.
